Baduanjin Exercise for Arm Problems After Breast Cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests whether Baduanjin—a gentle, flowing exercise practice—can improve arm, shoulder, and hand function in breast cancer survivors who have ongoing pain or stiffness. You would do these exercises at home using a smartphone app over 12 weeks.
